Tech Giants Are Trying to Cover Up the Environmental Impacts of Their Data Centers
Silicon Valley is using legal loopholes and NDAs to keep the public in the dark about the water and energy being consumed by generative AI.
"A new Microsoft data center in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, will require more than eight million gallons of water each year to operate, according to records that Microsoft did everything in its power to keep hidden from the public."

I loved his call for #DigitalSovereignty. It is great how #FOSS provides countries to provide a viable alternative. Interoperability & being able to reverse engineer the products is key.

This would do so much for innovation, too. The whole focus on printer ink is such a great example, as is the nursing one. Monopolies are anti-capitalist & anti-innovation. Lots I hadn't considered for #privacy
Hey, did you know that Movim allows you to link your #Discord, #Telegram, #WhatsApp and #Matrix accounts to your main XMPP one and chat with all your contacts in one integrated platform? 🤩
We are working hard with @nicoco to ensure a perfect integration with the Slidge gateways project slidge.im/ 🥸🤝🥸
Message synchronization, reactions, stickers, GIFs, chatrooms, invitations, file transfer... you can now find all those exciting features fully working across all your linked accounts in Movim ✨.
Now you can move to #XMPP while staying in contact with all your friends. 👌
Try it out on mov.im/ or by deploying your own instance 😸!

V posledních měsících se projekt MinIO (S3-compatible object storage) začal uzavírat komunitě. Pro komunitní verzi už nehostuje dokumentaci, nejsou Docker image, nedistribuuje binárky a ze zdrojáků zmizela web console. Dokonce poslední komunitní verze zůstala s nějakou závažnou bezpečnostní chybou.
Alternativy jsou, ale pokud už máte postavený cluster přes fyzický HW, tak jste dost nahraný. Placená verze vychází podobně jako S3 v AWS.

Gestern mal kurz #kubuntu unter den Fingern gehabt.
Ich empfand den #Desktop, Desktopp-Menü, #Dolphin und das Einhängen eines #USB-Sticks kompliziert und unübersichtlich, so ähnlich wie bei Windows.
#Gnome erscheint mir dagegen aufgeräumt und simpel in der Bedienung.
Ist natürlich persöhnliche Geschmackssache.

Hello people of the Fediverse. I have a minor problem I'd like to pick your brains for any solution, regarding #xmpp / #jabber calls over AT&T wireless mobile, in the US.
Simply, xmpp calls over #att data fail, audio or video doesn't matter, texts get through just fine. Calls over WiFi are fine. I have tried the aTalk and the c0nnect pro apps, same result. Using chatterboxtown.us as a server, in case that matters. All devices are Android.
Looking for clues, knowledge or experience. TIA
@daniel I agree.
I had serious trouble getting the TURN server included with the OpenFire XMPP server working behind NAT, even though it's direct 1:1 NAT and all relevant ports were open.
Messages and attachments would work. Voice and video calls would dial, but the other end could never be able to pick up.
In the end, I had to set up the TURN plugin on my firewall instead.
Now it works fine :)
I have no idea what server software your host is using I'm afraid.
I have been using @monocles and conversations.im for clients on android.
@daniel
I did try the conversations.im server (w/ aTalk) about a month ago, it locked me out within a couple hours with no explanation. That's why I went with another server. 🤷♂️
I am absolutely double NAT at the house but that's not where I have an issue.. it doesn't work cell to cell either, it only works WiFi to WiFi.
I suppose I can try the conversations app as well, and see if there's a way to test the stun/turn at CBT (it definitely strikes me as a hobby server). Thank you.
Headline: “Women who own horses live longer”
Implied correlation: Horses make you live longer.
Reality: If you own a horse, you can likely afford health insurance.
I have had multiple persons tell me recently that they truly hesitated and made really sure they didn't submit slop before they filed their first security reports to #curl.
Meaning: public shaming seems to at least partially work. Banning, taunting and ridiculing the fools works as a reminder for people to maybe think again and make sure.
== less wasted time for us.
While I agree that "public shaming" of the worst is for now a needed tool, it should not be the only, or even the main one, used.
We who live the open source way of life need to also get better on showing the benefits for everyone when contributing quality, at any level.
Including ones own journey learning and using all the amazing stuff we collaborate in creating.
If we can do that, I think it will be easier for more to quicker understand that open source is so much more for them.
right or wrong, a response is at least useful. The person can decided whether it's worth their time doubling down constructively, and if they really are honest they likely will because they care (it's kinda like human greylisting) . Importantly, the burden and onus is not on you.
I've submitted many bugs in closed source software (mostly Microsoft) and hear literally nothing back.

Hey, Windows people, that thing where accessing a UNC path or something like //malicious_server/blah.txt leaks the NTLM blahblah to an attacker-controlled hostname...
Is that a genuine concern? Do people go and patch things to basically disallow that everywhere? Is it assumed that UNC paths should only be used for trusted hosts?
@neal thanks, this is useful.
Someone filed a librsvg bug where they set up a responder on a "malicious" host, and got librsvg on Windows to contact it.
So my thinking was, if your shitty ambient authority leaks info to any old host, how is that *my* problem? What's the legitimate use here?
But yeah, your explanation works. I think they are fishing for CVEs.

Slidge gateways do not support e2ee, so it's decrypted at the bridge level, and sent to your clients (encrypted via TLS though). AFAIK the movim instance also caches your messages, so if you don't host, that's another point where your messages can be read by an admin.
That said, telegram e2ee ("private chats") are not supported by slidgram anyway. Gateways are convenient, but ideally everyone would switch the proper open and E2EE-capable networks, such as #XMPP
